Hi,

As a user of this controller, I think that if it is not then this patch
should be changed to export it or should be dropped. The data from that
file is really helpfull in debugging problems (for example related to bad
cables or breaking disks/cdroms).

Per Bart's suggestion, I've created a user-space app which shows identical data (and doesn't even rely on the via82cxxx IDE driver).

So, I think we should be clear to drop /proc/ide/via now.
